Leslie Mosier

Leslie Mosier is a graphic designer, social media mogul, and the mastermind behind media-magnet Doug The Pug. A graphic design virtuoso, she got her start as Director of New Media at Aware Records in Nashville, Tennessee. Honing her skills in graphic design and artist management, Mosier maintained a continuous balancing act between that of the agency and launching Doug the Pug as an internationally recognized brand. Shortly thereafter, she successfully branched out to manage Doug’s career full-time in May 2015.

An Instagram veteran, Mosier has been able to further branding by cultivating a social community, of which the proof is in Doug the Pug. In March 2015, Doug had a social following of 3,000 fans, which is dwarfed by his current network of nearly 2.1 million adoring fans. Mosier’s branding skills paired with her freelance graphic design business have made the squishy pug face a social media pop-icon, which is only the beginning.
